Accessibility Features Mitigation

To use this technique remotely, an adversary must use it in conjunction with RDP. Ensure that Network Level Authentication is enabled to force the remote desktop session to authenticate before the session is created and the login screen displayed. It is enabled by default on Windows Vista and later.[1]

If possible, use a Remote Desktop Gateway to manage connections and security configuration of RDP within a network.[2]

Identify and block potentially malicious software that may be executed by an adversary with this technique by using whitelisting[3] tools, like AppLocker,[4],[5] or Software Restriction Policies[6] where appropriate.[7]
